The Loss of Innocence

Selected highlights from this sermon.

We know about diseases of the body, but did you realize that there are diseases of the soul as well?

Bitterness. Guilt. Resentment. Defilement. Regret. Deep hurt. Shame. Fear. Anger. Emptiness. Mistrust. All of these bring about a sense of disconnectedness from one another—and from God. We feel that He is angry with us, or we feel that He’s irrelevant and distant.

And no area of our lives spawns more diseases of the soul than the misuse of sexuality. Ask yourself: how often do I think about the holy Trinity of God? And now ask yourself: how often do I think about sexuality?

It’s time for all of us to understand our struggles—how they come about and why they can be so painful. And then we need to take that first step of restoring our souls—through the blood of Christ.
